Queen of Cups

From the Robin Wood deck

What a strange, exhausting and yet beautiful two days and very appropriate for them to be crowned by this Queen.

After all these years I have finally been able to open my heart to Mum and my sister Lauren, instead of maintaining a self protective, intellectual detachment. At least I feel able to care without fear of being ‘sucked in’ to it all.

And the Queen of Cups, at her best, has compassion and understanding without losing herself in others’ tragedies.

I’m so happy to understand this Queen better at last, and resolve to learn her lessons carefully. It is time for my heart and my head to start working more closely together I think – and feel.

Pick a card!

The idea is really simple. Just pick a card from your Tarot deck randomly each day and think about how its themes match what's going on in your life.
I add another twist - with an Australian Bush Flower Essence of the day as well. That's two random choices which day after day manage to relate both to each other and to me.
These are my experiences and I hope they provide an insight into the way our sub-conscious makes connections and communicates with us through imagery and themes.

Choosing your Deck

There's nothing more personal and there are so many to choose from. I chose the Robin Wood Tarot - I liked the pagan theme and the style of the drawings, but at the same time the cards retain most of the traditional imagery associated with the Rider-Waite Deck. That's what I've used here.
I've also used a deck of Australian Bush Flower Essence cards, choosing a card from each deck randomly at the start of each day.
